If We Could Hear The Grass Grow
by Eleanor CraigFrom the book: "Each day I saw more clearly what I wanted. To have a day camp for troubled children. And spend one last summer with my children in this house. A final chance to reweave more smoothly the family ties that bound us." It was a summer that will touch your heart. Now, in the same honest, thoughtful style that made her previous book, P.S. Your Not Listening, so successful, Eleanor Craig, gifted family therapist, teacher, and author, tells the wonderfully moving true story of her experiences running a day camp for emotionally disturbed children at her Connecticut home. If We Could Hear the Grass Grow is a funny, sad, fascinating account of what it's really like to cope and communicate with severely antisocial children on a day-to-day basis, deal with their violence, help ease their pain, and free their astonishing often hidden-capacity for love and sharing. Eleanor Craig shows us how these seemingly unreachable children can be reached and, most important, can achieve remarkable growth when handled by a committed, sensitive teacher. Among her "special kids" are: Rodney, the "Big Man," older than his years, tough, uncontrollably aggressive, and as much in need of love as of discipline. Maria, sweet, undemanding, and troubled, one of a large Hispanic family where the father has a history of manic depression and of being physically abusive. She spends much of her time in fervent prayer. Frankie, overweight and immature, who acts out his mother's agoraphobia by refusing to leave her side, day or night. Adam, abandoned by his young, mentally ill mother, and unable to communicate except in comic book babble.
Bully: Does Anyone Deserve To Die? A True Story of High School Revenge
by Jim SchutzeAs harrowing as Lord of the Flies and as unsettling as Larry Clark's Kids, Bully is the true story of an unspeakable act of revenge committed by ordinary, middle-class teenagers. Unlike anything you have ever heard of - or even imagined - before, Bully reveals the virulent hatred and lust for control that lurked within one boy. At once startling and mesmerizing, Bully asks just what kind of vengeance is justified for society's cruelest people. Jim Schutze's trademark. precision and investigative savvy bring us into the confusing, duplicitous world of Bobby Kent and Marty Puccio, who grew up together in a peaceful beach community of Fort Lauderdale. Best buddies since boyhood, they shared a love for fast cars, fun-loving girls, and their weight-toned bodies. At their core, however, the boys couldn't have been more different. Marty was gentle and kind and would go to any length to please others. Bobby, meanwhile, was a bully. His spirit was mean, his will strong, and his modus operandi sadism. Bobby's ambition was to rule his pack and to dominate Marty and his girlfriend, Lisa. At the end of the eleventh grade, their psychological, physical, and sexual weaknesses were Bobby's prey. What these suburban teenagers did one night on the swampy edge of the Everglades is a harrowing commentary on our society and the intensity of adolescent rage. But just as startling are the lengths to which the kids' parents went to protect their young and what their actions reveal about the meaning of individual responsibility at the close of the century.
